Would Romney, Already Looked At Skeptically By The Right, Pick Rice?

                    I'm talking about the rumors, first appearing Thursday in the Drudge Report, that former Bush Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has surged to the top of Romney's wish list. The supposed book on Rice: she cuts into President Obama's African-American and female vote, and has foreign policy smarts. Sarah Palin, who knows a thing or three about the importance of the vetting process, chimed in, saying Rice would make a "wonderful" vice president. And what about the fact that Rice supports abortion rights? Palin said that we "need to remember" that "it's not the vice president that would legislate abortion, and that would be Congress's role. And we'll keep that in mind." Somehow I don't remember hearing that argument when Tom Ridge's name was being discussed as vice-presidential material.
In any event, one would assume a Rice for Veep pick is not palatable for many conservatives, and that certainly includesMarjorie Dannenfelser, the president of the pro-life Susan B. Anthony List, who offered this statement:
never had her named been mentioned till now when all those the insulted and belittled are now going to jump ship because another Bushy is added tpo his already overflowing cup of Bush conspirators.
 somebody brought up Rice's ethnic mixture, more then Obama's 2 she has like 4 or 5. will that be an issue once the base gets that info or misinfo?
